by the way

Has anyone here heard about the Ted Kennedy incident lately? Well it seems that Uncle Ted was trying to get a domestic hop back home. When he was denied a ticket due to security concerns. It seems that his name appeared on the no fly list. Anyways Teddy complained and was eventually allowed to get a flight home with an apology from one of the higher ups at the home security office.

I actually got the inside scoop on what had happened. While trying to board his aircraft, Ted Kennedy kinda stumbled through the gate way. When entering the aircraft, he had offered to actally fly the aircraft. Well with Tedy's driving record the pilots and crew were kinda worried about letting Ted get behind the wheel. That is where they made up the phony list about his no fly status.

Instead of just turning down his offer to fly, they let the beauracrats take the blame.
